Why Zendaya Hasn’t Watched Dancing With the Stars After Being On It

As a seasoned fan of Dancing with the Stars, I must say that this year’s cast is nothing short of extraordinary! Each contestant brings a unique background and charm to the dance floor.


Zendaya would rather not put this show on replay. 

During the ongoing 33rd season of “Dancing With the Stars“, the actress from “Challengers” explained why she’s been disengaged from the show since her 2013 runner-up finish with dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy.

Zendaya confessed during an interview on The Awardist podcast on October 3rd that she hasn’t watched “Dancing With the Stars” since she appeared as a contestant. She also shared that she didn’t watch the show before joining it, suggesting that it wasn’t primarily aimed at her age group. However, her grandmother is a big fan of the show and enjoys watching it.

Apart from showing no inclination to watch it, the 28-year-old also openly stated that she has no desire to revisit that phase of her past.

She also agreed that it was quite an anxious event, and she expressed, “I wasn’t sure if I could continue to watch it.

16-year-old Zendaya may have felt stressed during her time on the show, but she excelled nonetheless. In fact, she reached the finale alongside notable competitors such as Lisa Vanderpump and gymnast Aly Raisman, who was also an Olympic athlete.

However, throughout the competition, it was Kellie Pickler, a finalist from American Idol, and her dance partner Derek Hough who provided the stiffest challenge for Zendaya and Val. In the end, the coveted Mirrorball trophy was claimed by Zendaya and Val.

This season, it’s hard to predict who will win the Mirrorball trophy as the competition is quite intense so far. Notably, contestants like Tori Spelling from 90210, Beverly Hills and Anna Delvey, the self-proclaimed fake heiress, have already been eliminated from the race.

This year’s contenders also feature Olympians Stephen Nedoroscik and Ilona Maher, but neither Tori nor Anna were content following their elimination.

In an interview with NBC News following her elimination on September 24, Anna expressed that the show seemed to manipulate her for higher ratings, without any intention of helping her improve or develop. Instead, they appeared to focus solely on using her for increased attention, which she found exploitative. Furthermore, she felt it was underhanded of them to make her feel inadequate and unintelligent while she was actually improving, yet they chose to ignore this progress.
